A paper by Craig Albertson was recently featured in a review posted on Pharyngula (one of the top evolution blogs): http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2007/09/evolution_of_the_cichlid_mandi.php#more
This same piece was featured in the New York Times in June.
AWARDS & PRESENTATIONS
Scott Erdman presented a poster titled "A Suppression Screen Identifying Novel and Related PDR Network Target Genes Involved in Resistance to Membrane Disturbing Agents", Yeast Cell Biology Meeting at Cold Spring Harbor, August 2007. The work has been done by grad student Gary Franke (Erdman) and Nycole Maza, an undergraduate researcher working on the project which has been funded by a grant to Drs. Erdman and Starmer from the National Science Foundation.
Members of the Uy's Lab: Adam Stein and J. Albert. C. Uy and Jorge Luis Hurtado-Gonzales presented a talk and a poster in the 44th Annual meeting of the Animal Behavior Society, Burlington, VT July 21-26. The talk was about "Male color as an individual recognition cue in a
polymorphic population o bearded manakins", and the poster was on "Inter-morph variation of testis size and sperm morphology in the livebearer fish Poecilia parae: A role for sperm competition.
Jorge Luis Hurtado-Gonzales presented "Sperm competition games played by a pentamoprhic fish" in the International Ethological Conference organized by the International Council of Ethologists at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, Aug. 2007
Al Uy: Neotropical Ornithological Congress, Invited symposium speaker for
"Advances in Sexual Selection Theory", Venezuela American Ornithological Union, Invited symposium speaker for "Speciation in Birds", Laramie, WY
